The label tells a heart breaking story of an original quilt that was stolen, but it doesn’t tell the story of how a loving son brought this reproduction quilt to completion.  First he found a set of piecers who searched for matching fabrics to the original based on photographs and added identical pieced pinwheels to Lesley’s extra orphan blocks. Second, he had the newly pieced pinwheel top brought to Ideal Stitches so that I could duplicate the quilting.  When Madison came to visit her grandmother, they both came to Ideal Stitches to pick up the quilt.  It touched my heart to be part of the heartwarming reconciliation.
